The inn runs its own restaurant, covering a wide range of dietary styles including vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, and kosher options. There is also a terrace and a garden where guests can sit outside.
Garden and outdoor space
A garden sits on the property alongside the terrace. It is a low-key outdoor area rather than a manicured resort garden, suited to the pace of Thoddoo island.
Parking on site
Free parking is available at the inn — useful for guests who arrange local transport or rent bikes on Thoddoo, which is a common way to get around the island.

Getting there
Evila Inn is reached by seaplane from Velana International Airport in Malé. Thoddoo lies approximately 69 km away. Seaplanes operate during daylight hours only, so early or late flights may require an overnight in Malé before travelling to the island.
Seaplane transfers typically run $250–600 per person round trip, booked through the property. A few islands in this band are also served by a domestic flight to a nearby regional airport plus a short boat — ask the property which routing is faster for your dates.
